Nokia 8 Sirocco

HMD Global has introduced another flagship device dubbed as Nokia 8 Sirocco to its lineup that features enhanced Dual-Sight, ZEISS optics and carefully tuned acoustics with Nokia spatial audio.

The smartphone sports a 5.5-inch curved edge-to-edge pOLED 2K panel at the front with smaller bezels and molded body curves to create an ultra-compact profile.

HMD Global claims that the stainless steel frame introduced with Nokia 8 Sirocco is 2.5 times stronger than 6,000 series aluminium whereas the 3D Corning Gorilla Glass is strong enough to withstand everyday knocks of the daily life.

The dual rear sensors introduced with Nokia 8 Sirocco are made by ZEISS optics that offer an ultra-sensitive, wide angle primary camera with an emphasis on low-light performance. There is also a secondary 13MP shooter with 2x optical zoom on the front for making video calls and snapping beautiful selfies.

That is done with the 6,000 series aluminium uniboday machined with an 11-hour two-tone anodising and polishing process.
